What do I Put in a Babies 1st Easter Basket

Easter will be here soon and I know there are new parents, grandparents, aunts, etc that are asking themselves “What do I put in a Babies 1st Easter Basket”. Well, this will be my granddaughter’s first Easter and I have been trying to figure that out too!  I mean I already have the stuffed bunny, but what else can I get?

She’s only 8 months old, so she’s too young for candy and even if she was at the age for candy, I wouldn’t want to give her a lot of candy! So I did some research and started to figure out that this would be easier than I first thought! LOL Here are several items you can add to any Babies Easter Basket or Toddlers Easter Basket that they will LOVE!

First thing is that I highly recommend that you do not use the Easter grass, Ribbon or Cellophane. Babies and toddlers will want to grab it and put it in their mouths, it’s nothing but a hazard. Instead, use some crumpled up tissue paper in pastel colors as an alternative to the grass and don’t wrap it.

Babies

• Bibs.
• Booties.
• 1st Easter nick knack.
• Books~ Chunky board books in Easter or spring themes make nice gifts and can withstand teething babies.
• Easter book ~ Peter Rabbit or The Velveteen Rabbit.
• pacifier and paci holder.
• cute hair bows for a girl with hair.
• tub toys.
• Easter toy or animal.
• Toys such as rattles, keys, or teething rings are classics.
• A CD of soothing lullabies or lively playtime music would be a nice touch.

6 months and up!

• First of all there are those adorable, fluffy, loveable stuffed animals! Of course you want to get the classic Bunny, Lamb or Chick, but I’ve seen FROGS too!
• Easter themed toys {hopping bunny maybe}.
• Their favorite snacks! Gerber has some yummy snacks for your baby.
• If they are outgrowing clothes, get them a couple of nice outfits or maybe some shoes or socks.
• Tub Toys! My grand daughter loves to play with her rubber ducks and foam toys.
• If they’ve outgrown their hooded towel, get them a beach towel or maybe a different hooded towel?
• Outdoor toys~ Spring is in the air, maybe a toy garden set or tool set.
• Sippy Cup.
• Teethers
• A brand-new baby spoon or fork.
• New Plate/Bowl set in their favorite cartoon.
• 1 Real Egg ~ If they are old enough to eat one.

Let your imagination run with it. Make shopping for the baby Easter basket fillers fun! I love to shop for my grand baby, I have had her bunny for about 3 weeks now! I also have a few other things to put in her basket, once you get rid of your “What do I put in the baby Easter basket” fear, you will see it’s all fun like any other holiday!
